Will the swift GTI fit on a Rhino transmition

[Allan McD]

I have a Rhino 4x4 available and wonder if any one knows will the swift GTI engine fit the rhino transmition or am I just a dreamer :?:

Hi Allan,

As far as I know, it will fit direct.
I knew someone who fitted G13B engine to Sammy/Jimny(Small Jeep).
I have sold some of my parts from my mk2 enigne for this conversion.

I hope it will help you.

Cheers

I dont know what engine it has.
but im guessing this is the Suzuki 4x4 in a neighbours backgarden
If it is that close go see if it has a 1.3 engine, and that might give a better idea, or find if the rhino ever came with a G13B engine (or possibly an A).

Is it rear wheel drive your looking for?
Then go with the Samurai Gearbox from the 1.3

Its a near neghbour and its a 1.3 but its 8 valve and it fits adverse I had a look today but I couldnt decide if the GTI motor will fit.
I was looking for 4x4.

I would have said your best bet is with the justy setup as said before.

Like this... Pickup (http://mini.brubak.no/hmini.htm)

Im pretty sure as long as its a G13B block it should mate up (dont know if the G13A is any different)

One of the guys on here (turbovan) has a friend with a red turbo pickup running AWD using a Swift engine

Apparantly it uses a Jutsy 'box which nicely places the propshaft right down the exhaust tunnel. Also good pics of how to make a simple yet effective rear subframe and diff carrier with few body mods in conjunction with Zcar trailing arms which can be bought from Chris at Zcars for £300.

Use a Sierra\Granada\Scorpio diff and driveshafts with the radius arms and all you really have to do is shorten the 'shafts as the hubs on the Zcars arms are Granada based. Either that or make you own and save a few quid.

Wonder if any of that was of help to you.

EDIT: Just noticed it mentions the fact the Swift engine is also turbo'd! Might be worth contacting turbovan or the owner of the red pick up.

Youll also notice thats the pickup i was talking about further up!! :wink:
